These Pods are amazing. So cosy and comfortable and no guy ropes to trip over! Much more spacious than I was expecting and well equipped, Theres even a tv! With direct access to the Tarka trail my dog really loves it here and was very happy sleeping under the bed.( his choice Theres lots of space to choose from!)Swimming pool is a stones throw away and very lovely. Showers and toilets are excellent and beautifully looked after. Highly recommended.

Trip during heat wave.

Bartram, Mark - 08/08/2026

Swimming pool well maintained, good range of activities including mini golf and games room, good washing facilities, generous pitch, good selection of mobile caterers and well looked after site.Cabal of entitled elderly ladies monopolising lane swimming 30 minutes, complaining of genuine lane swimmers and using disappointing language and false claims in pursuit of “social swimming” goal. Noisy pitch if you are placed next to the air source heat pump at the swimming pool and staff happy to facilitate a move if so.

Fantastic site with great facilities and lovely staff.

Collum, Nicola - 04/08/2026

Our second visit to this wonderful site. Love the access to the Tarka Trail for cycling, the games room and mini golf and the heated pool is fantastic. The pool gets busy later in the afternoon but we found lunch time quieter Great to have food vans visit most nights in the summer and a lovely bar area. Wonderful showers. Would be great to have some extra hooks near the sink/hair dryer. In general a quiet and peaceful site, although there were a few families camping together during our stay that were quite noisy early morning and with a karaoke set up one night! Highly recommend North Devon Surf School at Westward Ho! for surf lessons and we also drove to The Valley of the Rocks at Lynton for a wonderful cliff walk with the mountain goats! We will definitely return to this site!

Very Clean & Tidy

Binmore-May, Charlotte - 04/08/2026

The staff were very friendly and relaxed. The park is well thought out, quiet times are respected. The pool timetable works well. The pool / toilets / showers so clean. Having a laundrette, bar, golf, pool, dog wash, bike wash, shop, games room and park on site was perfect and the visiting food vans in the evening meant we never had to leave. I will be back. It wasn’t a noisy park and didn’t feel too crowded. Usually after camping you feel a bit ugh but it was so clean it didn’t feel that way at all :)

Smytham park is a lovely camping park with lots of facilities for all the family to enjoy.Staff were friendly and helpful, they were very accommodating in supporting us with a situation.There are lots of lovely walks in the area a nice stroll down the Tarka trail was great for the kids on their bikes.Washing facilities were amazing hot and powerful showers which were spotlessly cleanFood vans came each day which were greatThe small shop has a lot of your essentials and fresh coffee dailyThe swimming pool was warm and the kids loved going each daySlight negative -There is a dog walking area although we would have preferred this to be a bit bigger as a large part was long grass.There are fishing pools however we were told there is only small fish, we did bring our rods however we decided not to fish as we are set up for larger fish and would have likely snaggedOverall though we felt Smytham is a great family campsite and will definitely return next year

Very friendly and clean site

Langmead, Donna - 02/08/2026

Very friendly staff and very clean site, lovely walk onto the tark trail and around the site. Lovely clean facilities and pool, well looked after. Bar was nice, not to over priced. Could have more of a shop for food ect, also maybe open the bar during the day as a coffee shop, would encourage people to get to know each other, as some people don't take children, this would be a way for others to socialize. Could do with selling some hot food like pasties sausage rolls , keep it simple.Overall a very clean and friendly, lovely site, will definitely recommend and return.
